Let me be the one

A magnet
A flame
A momentary everything
My eyes washIng over you  
Like a wave caressing the shore
Lingering
Lost
In a  momentary glance
All hanging in the balance
As eyes lock  
And realize
That if it comes to nothing more
Everything's been said
I would be the one
 
Cannot eyes speak in desperate whispers
Understandings which realize never
In the tortured touch of if only
I see you like that
Lost and alone
Regardless of whoever holds you in your world
I don't know your story
Just the hesitation of if only
And a moment that holds everything
Falters
Fails back into the reality of life
A sunset of the light in your eyes
As the breath you caught
Exhales
The light dying  
Too dangerous, by mine to be rekindled
 
But I remain
In the darkness even tho' its day
Eclipsed in your turning away
A shadow of all that could have been
A whisper unheard
Too near for words
A kiss left hanging in the air
Somewhere between here and there
As you fade away
